The Kia Ceed is competitive in lots of areas but unlike its best rivals it fails to be outstanding in any one area. The Ford Focus handles better, the Skoda Octavia and Scala are more practical and the Volkswagen Golf is more comfortable. If you do buy a Ceed, we recommending going for the entry-level 2 trim.

Similar to 3 trim on the gadgetry front, but adds sportier looks – both inside and out – as well as heated front seats and steering wheel. We reckon the cheaper trims (2 and 3) make more sense, though.
